Char Morett on Bethany Marvel
"Bethany has seen almost every position on the field. She was predominately a forward for us last year with some midfield time when needed. Bethany is a deceptive left side player and did a tremendous job of drawing corners and setting up scoring situations. She has a variety of shots and moves that make her dangerous in the scoring circle."
